Trent's chats with Stevie

Trent Alexander-Arnold has been lifting the lid on his talks with Reds legend Steven Gerrard.

He says:

“Whenever I am in the Academy or can go for a little chat with the coaches and staff for a little bit of advice or just a catch-up, I’ll see him and we’ll have a few words.

“I’ll try to pick his brain a little bit on how I can get better, how can I improve. It’s always important for me to be learning every day and channelling that vital information. You try to pick up and try to use it to your advantage.

“Whenever I see people who have been successful for the club, and who are willing to give that advice, I always try to take it on board.”

Harry Wilson shines on Hull City debut

Liverpool’s Harry Wilson looked like a young man with a point to prove when he made his Hull City debut yesterday.

The Hull Daily Mail’s Philip Buckingham writes:

An indifferent loan spell in League One with Crewe Alexandra had accounted for all three of his starts before the weekend and the last of those had come in November 2016. The sum total of his first-team exposure since had spanned two short debuts, first for Liverpool in the FA Cup last January then City last weekend.

That lack of experience made it a gamble when Wilson was thrust into the spotlight away to Nottingham Forest on Saturday but the abundant faith of Nigel Adkins was justified in spades.

City’s head coach has seen something in Wilson that he likes since first welcoming the winger into the club’s training ground during the final hours of the January window.

Talent is a given in a youngster who made his Wales debut at the age of 16 but there has also been a certain swagger. Call it self-belief or even a healthy arrogance but Wilson will back himself every day of the week.

Van Dijk - 'waste of space at Saints' but still the Premier League's best!

He will get a hostile reception and rightly so, but personally I’d rather we got behind our team than wasted any energy on him.

Unfortunately Virgil showed zero professionalism during the tediously drawn out summer barney that frankly left neither Liverpool as a club or the Dutchman in a particularly nice light.

If Van Dijk had kept out of it, knuckled down in training and did what was his job (and one he is paid handsomely for) then he may have gone to Anfield in January with our best wishes. But he didn’t. He sulked, he put the new manager in a difficult situation until he was removed from the first team picture and when he didn’t get his ‘dream’ move and realised he needed to play, he put in lacklustre, verging on lazy performances. Player power in full effect.

Ings on his wait for a goal

Danny Ings is a striker who has had to wait almost two-and-a-half years since his last goal for Liverpool’s first team - on his Merseyside Derby debut at Goodison Park no less - but after missing the best part of two seasons through injury the fit-again frontman isn’t concerned.

He told the ECHO:

“As a striker I’d be a lot more worried if I was wasn’t getting in those positions. The time I’d had on the pitch has been as a sub so you’re trying to maximise that time and get as many chances as you can.

“I can almost sense and feel it’s coming and the more minutes I get the better I’m going to feel and I’m sure I’m going to get that goal again. Confidence isn’t an issue for me, the most pressure was getting back fit.”
